Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni received several African content creators at State House on 12 November, including Kenyan Daniel Wambua Ndambuki, known as Churchill, and Ghanaian Berthold Kobina Ackon, known as Wode Maya. The meeting focused on pan-Africanism, African identity and the role of digital media, according to Tuko.
Museveni explained to the creators the “five historical missions of Africa” that he associates with liberation, democracy, economic prosperity, strategic security and African unity. He encouraged them to continue telling the stories of the continent’s realities and resources on social media, according to a message published after the meeting.
The group also included Tanzanian journalist and creator Salim Athumani Kikeke, a former BBC Swahili voice, as well as Ugandan Christine Lynghamar Kia, based in Sweden, and Zambian Masiliso Mutumba.
